    Agree but said to say it’s not 19c, it’s 1950s when White Aus was in place & our gov supported racists in SA & ‘rhodesia’. That’s where Dutton’s head is

    Aus Home Affairs minister’s comments about taking farmers from South Africa shows he’s living in the 19th century. Many people killed because of two key concepts:“white" & "civilised." His language shows we’re still living in a world where barbaric policies have buyers.
